Video #84: Bourbon glazed wings at Lancaster Dispensing Co.
There's a lot of farming in Pennsylvania, but there's also a lot of BEER! And where you find great beer, you find great watering holes. Join Mark and Jimmy as they explore (with the help of Mark's cast of Les Miz from the Fulton Opera House) a classic watering hole in downtown Lancaster, PA, The Lancaster Dispensing Company. The DipCo, as it's known locally, features local beers, fantastic food specials, and great history. But can anyone guess the year there was first a tavern on that spot? Watch and see. Cheers!

Well, last week we showed you the facility and the beer being made, and this week WE GET TO DRINK IT! Woo hoo! In addition to their fine brewery, Victory has a newly renovated restaurant facility that can service up to 300 people at a time; and, seeing as after our tour we felt we could drink enough beers for about 50 people, there was still plenty of space. Join Jimmy, Mark, and Andrew as they sip the incredible beer (from a stunning array of beer styles), sample the fantastic food, and watch the most gorgeous Growler Filler in all of Christendom. You'll be truly Gobsmacked.

Owner Dan McLaughlin's inviting space features 20 draft lines of beer and two cask ales that are always rotating, providing for new taste experiences every time you come in the door. Add to that the Pony All American Club, their Brewery Tours, a solid kitchen menu and a great staff, and you've got a place that's sure to be in New York for a long, long time. If you're within a hundred mile radius, saddle up and head over to The Pony. Cheers!
